OK so I tried what you said and also swapped out the rectifier tube with a NOS one and the tube didn't arc, so I tried hooking up the second lead and turned on, and the tv the tube still didn't arc but something smoked on the bottom of the TV right around one of the IF cans but what's weird is that none of the parts where it looked like the smoke was coming from looked toasty (unless the IF can itself was cooked), so going by that information it does seem that the Filter Choke is bad.
